This patch fixes a serious bug that could silently delete inscribed and altered gems from ring and amulet sockets due to one of the recent altered/inscribed gear issues. I am very sorry to anyone affected by this. This update also adds a few visual improvements to make socketed gems easier to see at a glance.

Bug Fixes

• Socketed gems disappearing - Inscribed or altered gems socketed into a ring or amulet could be deleted from your inventory. The cause was a cleanup check that looked for unused item data but did not correctly account for gems stored inside equipment sockets. This has been fixed.
• Sockets permanently jammed after gems were lost - After a gem disappeared, the socket could still think something was inside it, preventing you from socketing a new gem. Affected sockets will now correctly show as empty and accept new gems again.

Improvements

• Gem tooltip on jewelry - Hovering a ring or amulet now shows a dedicated "Socketed Gems" section in the tooltip, listing each socketed gem by name along with its stat bonuses. This works whether the jewelry is equipped or in your inventory.
• Gem badge on item cards - Rings and amulets with socketed gems now show a small purple gem icon on the item card in your inventory, alongside the existing inscription and alteration badges.

A Note on Lost Gems

I am genuinely sorry for any gems lost to this bug. Unfortunately, gems that were already deleted cannot be automatically restored because that data was removed from the save. Going forward, socketing inscribed/altered gems and rebooting the game will no longer remove socketed gems, and any affected sockets should now be usable again.
